If you want just to basically "tinker with", no need in waiting. Vishera is a great performing chip. Price considering, a better deal than most Intel CPUs. I say go for it if your in a situation where you can easily afford it.

BTW, that triple-X XFX power supply has a silver rating. I have one myself. Great PSU. Didin't have a problem with my 2600k rig with crossfired 5870 cards.

I run an 8350 and have run a 965BE in the past- big step up for what I use it for!

One recommendation- go for the 8350 if you can swing it. The cost difference is minimal
